Richard Swersey: You want the short version or the long one?
Christine Jesperson: The long one.
Richard Swersey: I tried to save my life but it didn't work.
Christine Jesperson: Wow. What's the short one?
Richard Swersey: I burned it.
-Me and You and Everyone We Know
I made my usual trip to Blockbuster yesterday unaware of how long it'd actually been since my last visit. It took me forever to pick out two movies. If I had all the money in the world, I would probably spend it only on food and movies: two of my favorite things. Oh. And maybe clothes. I don't want to be naked.
I just ate animal crackers for breakfast.
One of the movies I rented was excellent. It's called The Dying Gaul and it stars Peter Sarsgaard, Patricia Clarkson, and Scott Campbell. It's basically about a gay screenwriter who writes this brilliant script and is offered to greenlight it by a charming (and married) film executive. The screenwriter soons finds himself seduced by the executive's charm and lifestyle. At the same time his wife becomes fascinated with the screenwriter and soon evolves a sort of three way relationship that exposes a lot of secrets that "lead all three characters into a dark maze of deception and betrayal".
The only negative thing about it was the distracting over-stylized look of the movie during parts. But it's hard to even notice that I guess because Peter Sarsgaard's performance is just so fucking amazing. Seriously. This guy steals every movie he's in. He was the shit in Shattered Glass, the poo in Kinsey, the caca in Jarhead, and the doody in Skeleton Key (jk, that movie blew my ass) Everyone should go rent The Dying Gaul!
I have no clue why they made the movie poster the shot of Peter's character during an orgasm...whatever.
One of my favorite actresses: Patricia Clarkson. She's hot for her age, right?
One of the greatest actors alive...

Here are the rest of the pictures from the break. I'm off to go watch the movie again. Enjoy!
We got to the IMAX theater about an hour and a half too early, so we spent the time laughing and taking stupid pictures. (oh, and we saw Wild Safari 3D)

Sorry, Mary...
A small party at the girls' house.
Mary dirty dancing with the pantry door.
(these pictures are obviously not in order) This is coming out of the Rivercenter mall on our way back to the car.
This is by far my favorite picture from the break. I just love the blank look on Mary's face. And I have no clue why she's on the floor...and playing with her cell phone.
Me after a few glasses of wine.
Good times at Chili's
Good times at Shisha...if you ever get a chance, eat the food there. It's fantastic.
At Alex's place w/ Kristen and Darren.
Another trip downtown on my last night in SA
Waiting for a table at Rainforest Cafe. Soon after this, I was drinking Mary's smoothie through a straw and Brittany goes "Suck it bitch and tell me you like it!" and I choked and almost died.
Mary and some mechanical monkeys. (ooh, alliteration)
Posing like this in the middle of a restaurant is not fun. However, I think sucking the gorilla's teets would be much more embarassing.
Mary was a little too excited. (ps: the Rainforest Cafe in Dallas is MUCH better)
You know she sits on that thing when it's on during her free time.
Two of my best friends!
It managed to stop raining for a minute and this was the view I got driving into downtown Dallas. I had to take some pictures!
Kimberly is coming into town this weekend and we're both staying in Plano. I'll definitely have some good pictures coming! Laters for now!

I should have commented a while ago... but I'm a slacker. Deal with it!
SB 2K6 was amaaaaazing. Too bad we don't live in the apartment anymore... all the fun times just abandoned and left as an empty collection of walls and rooms. Ok, that was dumb.
Anyway, I stole half of these pics to put them on my myspace... because that's pretty much how I roll :)
